Nothing's so simple.

What's "a real scientist"? Someone who reinforces your ignorant 
politically correct prejudices? Where did political correctness come 
from> Do you know? Look to extensional measures to shape your judgements 
not your feelings. If you don't like local ones (and they're available 
if you'd just look), look instead to proxy functions globally (like 
economic, educational or health variables. Look to sub-Sahara Africa vs. 
East Asia. If that's too hard for you to cope with look at the available 
empirical evidence from international studies. To date, there's no 
refuting evidence, and I'd welcome any that was, as that's what science 
is all about. Your remarks are redneck and offensive.

If you believe otherwise, show us all what your thinking is based upon. 
Failing that, just accept that you're the bigot, and try to listen and 
learn.
